From Iconic Diagram to Bond Graph

There are various methods described in literature to convert a iconic diagrams into bond graph models. The simplest method is a direct conversion of iconic diagrams into bond graph elements. It is based on the fact that for every physical domain, junctions have a special interpretation. This allows us to make tables of iconic diagrams and their direct representation as bond graph elements. The drawback of the method is that it is not generally applicable: for physical domains that are not described here, the user is referred to other methods.
